This is the review for Pokemon Red for the Game Boy Color (in case you didn't read it up there). I wanted something classical to play, and I've actually never played this game before. I just jumped straight into the Yellow game. I've heard that this one was better, and it was because I've never played it I wanted to try something new.
For the graphics, I give them an 8 because it's pretty much the beginning of all pokemon games and a natural classic. I've seen a LOT worse graphics for this system, and overall, I'd say that the graphics are some of the best that I've seen (on this system).
In terms of the game's music, I like it a lot. It's pretty much all of the old school pokemon music. You may have heard bits and pieces of it from other pokemon games (like Pokemon Stadium 1 + 2). Sound quality does pretty good, as the music has a crisp and clean feeling to it. In other words, it isn't short and choppy like some other games that I know of.
The addictiveness is an absolute 10. Isn't too difficult and the gameplay and storyline flows together really well.
The storyline is similar to that of most games; all you do is pretty much beat gyms and take down the elite four. I'm playing this game as Red from the Adventures to make it more fun and challenging. So far, everything has been pretty easy and I'm about to take on my 3rd gym leader. All I've got with me is an Ivysaur and a Pikauchu- both are lvl. 30.
I gave the depth an 8 because it isn't a game in which you can just blow through and be done within the first one or two days (although it may be possible). You have to actually apply yourself a bit in a couple of parts in the story- mainly with the gym leaders. It may also take some time to do extra training before taking on the Elite Four. You definitely want to make sure that you've got a well balanced team, but you don't need to pull out anything too serious
As far as difficulty is concerned, I gave it a 3. The reason why the rating was so low is because so far in the game, I've had no real problems. As long as you've got a basic understanding of the game and setup a somewhat decent team, then you should be fine. I took out Misty with my Ivysaur alone and it was under leveled (the game DEFINITELY gets harder in Fire Red).
Overall, I give this game a 9.7. Definitely satisfies the expectations of those newcomers that are new to the world of pokemon, or just the ones that feel like replaying the story. I would say that it's better than Pokemon Yellow because..... well it just is, I can't really explain why
You should definitely get this game if you haven't played it though.
